Hey y'all, my wonderful Aunt Peg joined me in the kitchen to cook our final dish before the holiday. If you hadn't guessed, it's the big one! Literally. It’s Turkey!
There are so many ways to cook a turkey, from roasting to braising to grilling, boiling, broiling and barbecuing! We chose to do a Southern-style fav...orite: deep-frying! Deep-frying a turkey is an incredibly fast way too cook, keeps the turkey very moist and full of flavor, and the clean up is very easy. However, it can be incredibly dangerous. Every year you hear stories of deep-fried turkeys blowing up, so please, if you decide to cook your Thanksgiving turkey this way, BE CAREFUL!Read More

Hey y'all! I am so happy to have my son Jamie back in the kitchen with me. Cooking for the holidays is so much more fun when you have your family around. We've been making Mashed Potatoes together for years and years, and are proud to show you how we do it in our house.
Jamie and I take you through everything step by... step. We even tell you the secret ingredient that makes our mashed potatoes so good. But you'll have to watch the video to find out what it is! ;)

Love and Best Dishes,

Hey y'all! When thinking of Thanksgiving a few obvious staples come to mind: biscuits and stuffing, Turkey of course. And one of them most definitely is mashed potatoes. Mashed Potatoes is one of the most favorite dishes over at The Lady & Sons. We use red potatoes and make them in huge batches using industrial mixer...s, and we use lots and lots and lots of butter!! I asked Jamie to came over so we could show you how we make mashed potatoes for our holiday dinner.Read More

Y'all, I was blessed to have my great friend Jellyroll in the kitchen with me this week to cook up some traditional garlic and cheese biscuits. Whenever we're in a kitchen together we have the best time! We just make each other laugh all the time. Jellyroll is practically a biscuit expert (she even sees them in her ...sleep!), so it's a joy to share some dough with her.
Watch the video to see us make a few jokes and a lot of biscuits!Read More

Hey y'all! We're cookin' up Thanksgiving dishes all this month, and this week is all about biscuits! My thanksgiving table would be absolutely naked without em! My dear friend Jellyroll joined me to make some traditional garlic and cheese biscuits. Jellyroll has been in my life for more than ten years now. She wor...ks at The Lady & Sons and is one of the first faces you see when you walk in. She always has a smile on her face, and rings the lunchtime bell every day. She's the greatest!Read More

Hey y'all! To get ready for the holidays I called my soul sister Dora Charles to come cook some traditional Lady & Sons dressing (or "stuffing" as it's often called). Dora runs the kitchen at The Lady & Sons, and she wouldn't dream of letting a dish go out unless it was perfect. She knows Southern dressing like the b...ack of her hand, which is why asked her to make some with me this week. Watch the video to see how we make Southern Cornbread Stuffing, step by step. Hope you like the recipe, and that it helps make your holidays just a bit more yummy!Read More

Hey y'all, it's Monday, and that means only one thing: it's Mad Libs time on Get Cookin'! Head on over to play this week's Stuffing game. Last week, I promised to print the winning Shrimp Week Mad Lib on my Facebook, so here it is, courtesy of Amy Warfield:

"I had just come back from a long day of shrimping. We caught ...some big ones! I was hungry, so I decided to cook the shrimp with some brandy & rasberry sauce. I usually steam the shrimp, which is my favorite, but I was feeling creative, so instead I sauteed the shrimp. I was nervous how it would come out, but when I took the first bite of the dish I was surprised to find it was FANTABULOUS!"Read More

My dear friend Dora Charles came over to help me cook our famous dressing. it's the exact dressing we serve at The Lady & Sons. Dora has been part of my life for over a decade. She was with me in the tiny kitchen at the Best Western when we opened up The Lady & Sons, and I could not have imagined it any other way. C...lick below to watch the teaser video and make sure to submit your own Stuffing pics/videos! http://GetCookin.PaulaDeen.com/Read More

Hey y'all! It's almost November and that makes me think of one thing: Thanksgiving! I love this holiday so much, and not just because of the delicious food. It's a great day to spend with your family, and a great day to reflect on all the blessings we have. And of course, a great day to get in the kitchen and cook! I t...ruly love every dish in the Thanksgiving meal, so we're gonna look at several of them throughout the month of November. We are going to start with dressing, or as some call it, stuffing!Read More
